Friday, March 23

We have success! Flare is doing much better. He still hasn't ventured out of his pen YET, but the door is open and he's becoming curious. He is even permitting Octavia to come into his pen with him. Of course, Octavia is after his food, but it's a good start to being near other cats! Won't be long until he decides to mingle.

Purresa is now all over the rescue center. She's quite friendly. Several times a day, I check her 3 points!! Her eyes (for eye ointment), her belly (any milk yet? no) and her bottom (any drainage? no). I tell her each time that we need to do her 3-pointer check. She's quite willing.

Zelda is sprawled on my desk. She's the funniest cat. While she's "sleeping", if I talk to her, she mumbles, chirps, and gives tiny little meows, all with her eyes closed. Definitely need to find this special cat a home soon. Rory is just plain awesome. Never met a cat before that loves his tummy rubbed as much as he does. Pansy Mae and Cyrilla have become "chase me, chase you" friends. All over the office, including my desk while I'm working!

The Wee3 and Fab5 kittens are doing good. I'm concerned with Tiramisu and Cannoli--so very thin, but barely allows me to get any formula in them. I do believe they may be starting to eat a little on their own though. We longer have to "help" them to potty--they can do that by themselves now. Progress! This morning, a few of them started eating a little more kitten can food. More progress!
